A Russian shelling on Thursday (12) killed three Ukrainians working for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and wounded two others in a village in the frontline Donetsk region, Ukrainian authorities said.
“Another Russian war crime. Today, the occupier attacked vehicles of the humanitarian mission of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the Donetsk region,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said on X.
The village of Viroliubivka was targeted by shelling, regional governor Vadym Filashkin said on the Telegram messaging app, reporting casualties.
The Attorney General’s office said on Telegram that ICRC staff had brought fuel briquettes to residents for heating ahead of winter. They were unloading the aid when the attack happened, it said.
Two employees were hospitalized, and one was in serious condition, prosecutors added.
The Donetsk region, which Russian troops partially occupy, is regularly targeted by Russian shelling and airstrikes.
Moscow denies targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure in its invasion of Ukraine, although thousands of people have been killed in its attacks.
